Gizmodo has found what they purport to be a leaked internal document from Google. The document, from 2008, is a "vision statement" for the company's future. And part of that vision includes the possibility of selling customer information to advertisers.

The leaked document, called a "brainstorming document" by people familiar with it, shows Google weighing its options between its prior insistence to avoid such practices at the behest of its founders and the reality of the industry right now, where new companies are doing things that Google could do much better and making a lot of money in the process.

It has not been a good week for Google's image.
